UK Politics Thread part II

[mapuc]

After having read most of the comment here in the UK Politics thread I can only say this-Not even Spiting Image could have come up with this story.

Or other politic related satire.

I presume you British citizens are shaking your head.

No more. The headshaking has lasted so long that by now all their heads already have fallen off.
The British and the Brexit.
The French are fighting against the vital pension reform that raises the retirement age from 62 to 64.
The Germans can no longer generate enough electricity themselves, have to buy expensive atom- and coal-originating electricity, sell their few renewables cheaply, are among the biggest CO2 sinners, are the ones paying mroe for power than anyone else - but shut down their nuclear power plants.
The USA is getting bogged down in an endless polarization war and is paralyzing itself.


The entire West seems to be losing its mind. And in at least three of the above four examples, the Russians have a hand in it. Its all gone crazy.

There is clearly something seriously wrong up in Scotland right now.

Ex-SNP treasurer U-turns over knowledge of £100k motorhome after insisting he knew nothing.

Colin Beattie backtracked having previously said he did not know about the SNP's purchase of the luxury campervan.

What the UK is missing or lacking Markus is some bleeding competent politicians, this current lot in government are ****ing useless and those other dickheads of the opposition will in fact be a lot worse than this lot. We're currently doing a 180 degree turn and heading full throttle back to the 1970's union strikes, and we all know what mayhem they caused in the UK.

Thatcher would have taken Brexit by the scruff of the neck and slit its ****ing throat old boy, and those bleeding heart pillocks of the EU would have been next. That's what a strong leader does, they lead by example, show the enemy EU Politicians she means business and if that means threatening to pull the UK out of NATO to make that point she would have done it, that would have sent shockwaves throughout the EU and to the USA as well.

Brexit would have been done and dusted in less than 2 years with Thatcher's politicians, as for us Brits shaking our heads, yeah, we are, its not only the politicians who are ****ing useless but Council leaders are of the same ilk as well, too many migrants are holding positions of power and what should really happen is they should be booted out from any decision making, that means NOW, and in the future as well.

Its just my two penneth old boy, but I can tell you this, I'm probably just off centre of a perfect bulls eye with that assessment.

The SNP are hoping to strike a “backroom deal” with Labour to secure a second independence referendum, the Scottish Tory deputy leader has said.

Meghan Gallacher insisted any such deal would be “sleekit” – a Scots word which means crafty or deceitful – as she warned Labour would be “weak on the Union” if Sir Keir Starmer does not win a majority in the next general election.

Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Humza Yousaf has already made clear that the powers to hold a second independence referendum would be the price he would demand if his party is needed to prop up a Labour administration.

Which chemical substance are these bleeding pillocks on because I want some of it. Starmer and Yousaf running the UK, these are what nightmares are made of, good luck with that Starmer old boy, we 50 families where I live recently sent a bunch of your councillors packing with a flea in their ear, if we'd had some rope we'd have strung the up.

I'm not convinced Humza is telling the truth about him not having prior knowledge of the SNP not having appointed auditors since last September but either way, the deadline is looming and the SNP are swiftly sliding down the popularity ratings.

The SNP has signed a contract with a new auditor more than six months after the previous firm quit.

The SNP's Westminster group risks losing £1.2m of public funding if it does not submit audited accounts by 31 May.

Group leader Stephen Flynn said he was now confident that the deadline would be met.

The party must also file its audited accounts with the Electoral Commission in July.

Humza Yousaf, the SNP's leader and Scotland's first minister, said Manchester-based AMS Accountants Group had agreed to complete the accounts for both the party and its Westminster group.

Mr Yousaf said: "There is hard work ahead but it is really encouraging to have them on board as we work towards challenging deadline".

It emerged last month that the SNP's previous auditors, Johnston Carmichael, had quit last September.

Mr Yousaf has said he only found out after winning the contest to succeed Nicola Sturgeon in March that the party no longer had an accounting firm in place.
